Are the days in Ann Arbor magically 28 hours long? How the heck would anyone have time on the side for something so tedious and involved ON TOP of the tedious and involved building and playing of guitars!

Can't remember the brand but we bought Dave a new high-end soldering station, you know the $1,000 type and he loved using it so much he couldn't stop soldering for about three days...... Seriously! So we had two pre-war 30's L-OOs in the shop at the same time, different owners and Dave saw that as an opportunity to model them accurately in crappy fret wire.

We get lots of comments on it and Dave had a great time doing it. Of course with all the lead fumes that I inhaled I'm now sterile but that's just another side benefit of being a Luthier.

The secret is bringing a six pack to lounge around the shop after hours instead of going to the bar. This formed over a few months of occasional evening tinkering, but everyone needs a hobby.
